How to Make Chocolate Mousse Charlotte

  1. Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with ladyfingers, trimming as needed to fit snugly.
  2. In a large bowl, prepare a 3.9 oz box of instant chocolate pudding mix according to package directions, using 2 cups of whole milk.
  3. Add 1 cup of heavy cream to the chocolate pudding mixture.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently pour the mousse into the prepared ladyfinger-lined pan. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
  6. (Optional) Before serving, garnish the top with additional whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.
